There’s something about a warm bowl of soup that just makes everything feel a little bit better, right? 🍲 I’ve been meaning to share this recipe for a while now—it’s the ultimate comfort food, perfect for those chilly autumn days when you just want to cozy up with something warm and delicious.
This soup is all about roasting those lovely fall veggies like squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots with aromatic herbs and garlic. The roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the veggies, giving the soup a rich, deep flavor. It’s creamy, velvety, and just what you need to warm up your soul.
What You’ll Need
- 1 small butternut squash
- 1 large sweet potato
- 3 carrots
- 2 red onions
- 4-5 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 600ml vegetable stock
- 75ml vegan cream
How to Make This Cozy Soup
Step 1: Roast the Veggies
Start by peeling the squash, sweet potato, carrots, and onions, then chop them into chunks. Place them on a baking tray and sprinkle with the dried rosemary, sage, and salt. Drizzle everything with olive oil. Don’t worry about peeling the garlic—just throw the cloves on the tray in their skins (you can wrap them in foil for easy handling later).
Roast the veggies in the oven at 180°C (fan) for about 30 minutes, giving the tray a shake halfway through to make sure everything cooks evenly.
Step 2: Blend to Perfection
Once the veggies are beautifully roasted, it’s time to bring it all together. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin (it’ll be soft and sweet) and add it to a large blender along with the other roasted veggies. Pour in the vegetable stock and vegan cream, then blend until the soup is smooth and velvety.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
You can serve the soup as is, or take it up a notch by adding some crunchy chickpeas on top. To make the chickpeas, simply roast drained chickpeas in a bit of oil with some spices like paprika and turmeric for about 20 minutes until they’re nice and crispy.
